Welcome @gsec92. Are you planning to tow frequently with your Seltos?
I believe you can but the first step is to find somewhere to mount it that gets adequate air flow. Have you looked around?
From all the literature I've read, the duel clutches tend to be prone to overheating. Keeping the tranny even 7 degrees cooler can make a real difference in the prevention of overheating.
You’d have to do some heavy stop and go, offroad type driving for the tranny to overheat. I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless that’s the kind of driving you plan to do.
Quick lesson on transmissions! All clutches in any vehicle are used to connect the transmission speed to the engine by the use of clutch plates, thus they are all dry! The transmission contains the speed gears) however, requires a special fluid produced for the series transmission it goes in, thus called transmission fluid allowing the speed gears to shift from different speeds ie, 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears etc. In automatics however, the torque converter (it having fluid as well) is the connection between the transmission and engine. Your comment absolutely makes no sense once you understand the purpose of clutches and torque converters.
Clutches CONNECT the actual transmission gears to the engine. Thus clutches are dry, but the transmission has fluid! Clutches are only used to to do this function. This is why you dont want to hold your car on a hill with the clutch engaged, it gets hot and not the transmission as it, and not the transmission first gear gets the excess torque. And my request pertains to the speed side (with fluid) and NOT the dry clutch side.
You seem to be really confused. The Seltos has a dry clutch DCT. Manual transmissions are generally dry clutch. In both cases, oils will detrimentally affect how the clutch operates. My Audi has a wet clutch DCT. The K5 has a wet clutch DCT. Wet clutches are a real thing and are used in various devices such automatic transmission torque converter lock ups, motorcycles, dirt bikes, and industrial equipment. They are oil bathed clutches, hince the term wet clutch. Dry clutches are a real thing and are used for manual car transmissions among other things.
Hmm 🧐 sounds like u allready know the answer.. and since this is a forum we will either irritate you further to our amusement or you would have to ask kia and let us know what u find 😆. Thanks
The problem is, I really don't know if it can be done. And I do get so amused when people answer the wrong question because they seem to have a hard time understanding what is asked, and not what think they are answering.
I just got a thought, Are you saying the duel clutches are the gears? That would be a new one on me. But if that is what your saying, then your explanation would most probably be correct.
